At least it was a high leverage spot.
Yeah, I don’t think the cubs have any regrets. Even in a “down” year he’s still a slightly above league average bat and likely will wind up closer...
With Hader and Brown coming back soon, if you squint you can maybe see this team competing in the AL West give how bad the rest of the division...
Seems to have settled down a bit
Abreu has thrown 40 pitches over the last two days. I don’t think he’s pitching today.
Not until at least the 24th based on his IL timeline. I think he did start rehab, so hopefully then.
On the radio they said Teng and Weiss were the only two pitchers available and they likely have a bullpen game tomorrow. It was messy, but it...

Fair question. Mostly because I think Espada has been particularly bad. He hasn’t handled the clubhouse well, the team’s fundamentals have gotten...
Cora is a better manger than Espada, but I can’t imagine Crane would bring back someone that closely associated with the sign stealing. For anyone...
Moving your one consistent (so far) reliever out the bullpen is a choice. Not really too many good options, so whatever I guess.
His max speed this year is barely at his average from last year:...
So does Abreu have some sort of injury or issue he’s not sharing. Guys don’t just lose 2-3 mph on their fastball, loose all control, and get...
I was thinking about how they entered the year, not how they left it. They were able to withstand a lot of injuries (or guys not returning as...
My assumption is because top level pitching is even thinner this year and they no longer have the only guy on the staff that has been able to stay...
For all the sample size / clutch playoff performance skill conversations - you can’t just look at a single player to see if playoff clutchness is...
I feel like the Altuve experiment in LF failed - in addition to the defensive issues, it seemed like it threw off his routines offensively. I was...
1. Find another starter 2. Pray McCullers finds another 2-3 mph over the winter and can consistently throw strikes 3. Look for a new manager 4....
I know it wasn’t the World Series, but I really enjoyed this: [IMG] Altuve’s ALCS winning home run in 2019.
We’ve had terrible first base play for 4 years now. I’m sure if this was a realistic option they would have explored it. There have been...
